I was crushed,
Slowly I ended up coated in dust.
I had nowhere to go,
A puppet displayed for show.

Without you, I’m just an empty shell,
I have no stories to tell.
Only those that crush my heart,
The life drains out of me, as if I was struck with a poison dart.

That was your love, a killing machine,
You broke me but it didn't matter to you, all you wanted was to wipe your slate clean.
I felt it slowly eating me away,
But I ignored it, desperately wanting you to stay.

Shattered into a million pieces with no one to put me back together.
I waited for too long, much like forever.
I wondered if anyone noticed.
But you of all people, show up much too late.

I believe I’m okay now,
All I need you to do now is take your bow.
For you have played your part in my life.
Hurry before the moment passes because I want it to end just right.
